Default Cobra Wanna-be

<P class=Msonormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">I am obviously a new member to this Forum, but wanted to see what type ofresponse I would get from a short question. I own a 1993 Mustang LX, which came from Ford with a four banger in it. I found a wrecked GT and made my Puttstang into a 5.0 Liter barrel of fun. I am a US Military member stationed in Italy and getting parts is hard. I have just had my car painted and when I get back from my current deployed (DESERT) status I am putting a **X**** Motorsport Road and Track package on the car. My question, Finally, is how hard would it be to make my car into a 1993 Cobra clone? I love the performance aspects of the Cobra and want to beef up my car and make the Italians know what American steel can do.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have to rub elbows with 911 Porsche’s and Ferrari’s and the likes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They need a desperate butt whooping and I wish I were the one to give it to them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They pass me on a daily basis and quite frankly I am tired of it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Hope you can help.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thanks!</SPAN></P><edited><editID>tomt30</editID><editDate>38018.2588888889</editDate></edited>

that would be nice. but it would be funner just to build up the car you have now and make it a sleeper. so when a porcsh pulls up beside you and try to smoke yea it will be the other way around. he got dusted by a regular 5.0 not even a cobra.

I thinkwhat I waslooking for was tech tips on engine, suspension, brakes, and the more performance aspects of the Cobra. I cannot shipbody packages since the US postal service will not ship large items to APO addresses, so LX it will stay. Ialso wanted to know how to do the back seat delete like the Cobra R. Is there a kit for that? Oh well... Just fishing for answers. Thanks for the help.

hmm...may sound crude, but id just take the backseat out and not worry about making it pretty. delete kits just seem like a fancy way to do something that should be free.
